Interesting how the term “singing the blues” takes on a different meaning when I look at your lovely painting.

Thanks Susan! 🙂 I liked to learn to paint looser but it isn’t easy for me… And a weird bird will make a return next week! Hehe! 😉

I have found if I don’t draw something first. Sit down with only a brush and paints. That may help to be looser. But loose comes with difficulty for me too.
